Expositor's Bible Commentary - Micah 1:1-16

MICAH THE MORASTHITEMicah 1:1-16SOME time in the reign of Hezekiah, when the kingdom of Judah was still inviolate, but shivering to the shock of the fall of Samaria, and probably while Sargon the destroyer was pushing his way past Judah to meet Egypt at Raphia, a Judean prophet of the name of Micah, standing in sight of the Assyrian march, attacked the sins of his people and prophesied their speedy overthrow beneath the same flood of war. If we be correct in our surmise, the exact year was... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Micah 1:7

1:7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the {f} hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered [it] of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return {g} to the hire of an harlot.(f) Which they gathered by evil practices, and thought that their idols had enriched them with these wages because of their service to them.(g) The gain that came by their idols will be consumed as a thing of nothing: for as... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Micah 1:1-16

MICAH INTRODUCTION The little known of Micah is briefly stated. Calling himself a Morasthite indicates Moresheth, or Mareshah, as his birthplace in southwestern Judah, near Gath. The time of his prophesying is shown in the same verse (by the reference to the kings of Judah) as between 758-700 B.C. He seems to be the writer of his own book, if we may judge from the personal allusions in chapter 3:1, 8, and to have died in peace, judging by Jeremiah 26:18-19 . He is frequently referred to as a... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Micah 1:1-16

Sin and Judgment Micah 1:0 , Micah 2:0 Micah was a villager. There are advantages in village life which are not to be found under metropolitan circumstances. It was no dishonour to be a villager in Bible times. We read of One of whom it is said, "He shall be called a Nazarene." Little or nothing is known about Micah, but his prophecy stands out boldly, written in letters of fire, and surrounded by a very lurid and suggestive atmosphere. There is a great deal of gospel in Micah. How is it that... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Micah 1:1-9

There is a great sameness between the writings of Isaiah and Micah; their vision opens much alike, only Micah's vision is concerning Samaria and Jerusalem; and Isaiah's of Judah and Jerusalem. Samaria was the chief city of the ten tribes of Israel; so that between the two Prophets, both Judah and Israel are alike reproved. See Isaiah 1:1-2 . But what I wish chiefly from both is, to impress the Reader's mind with the one leading object of this and of all prophecy; namely, that the Lord is... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Micah 1:7

Her wages. That is, her donaries or presents offered to her idols; or the hire of all her traffic and labour. (Challoner) --- Samaria had trafficked with infidels, and thus grew rich, but imitated their idolatry; (Worthington) and therefore was ruined, and her citizens and riches (Haydock) removed into Assyria. (Worthington) --- Harlot. They were gathered together by one idolatrous city, viz., Samaria: and they shall be carried away to another idolatrous city, viz., Ninive. (Challoner) --- The... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:1-7

1-7 The earth is called upon, with all that are therein, to hear the prophet. God's holy temple will not protect false professors. Neither men of high degree, as the mountains, nor men of low degree, as the valleys, can secure themselves or the land from the judgments of God. If sin be found in God's people he will not spare them; and their sins are most provoking to him, for they are most reproaching. When we feel the smart of sin, it behoves us to seek what is the sin we smart for. Persons... read more
